A Daughter Of Erin, Aged 40.

The oldest lady in st. Louis, or perhaps
in the United States, Mrs. Mary Murphy.
aged ITO years, living with her son, Daniel
Murphy, at 1898 Lucky street, is now cut.
ting four wisdom teeth. Mrs. Murphy was
born at Casliney, County Tipperary, Ire
land. and her mother lived to the advanced
age OF liz years. Her mother cut an entire
set OF teeth at the age of Ill years. The
old lady came to this country in lS47 with
her husband, who died in 1S4S, since which
time she has been supported by her children.
Her children are Mrs. Michael Fogarty, &C

Murphy, 81 years, 293S Lucky street; Mrs.
Lawrence Ryan, 30 years, Biddle street,
near Cwenty-second' Mrs. Andrew Harty,
90 years, Wash street, near Twenty-third;
Michael Murphy, 81, Carr street and JET

herently. One of her eyes has been destroy

easily. Her teeth which are being replaced

has no idea OF dying forsome time yet, and
she eats as regularly and heartily as any

Big Bonnets lettering.

Pride goeth before destruction and .
compliant woman beneath a big bonnet.
There is no desire to give occasion for pre-.
mature rejoicing, but the Indications are
unmistakable that there are serious deiec.
tions in the ranks OF elevated millinery and
perceptibe wavering along the line gives
promise OF general stampede. The glad
tidings may be safely proclaimed that the
colossal hats and bormets of the rheater
are in a state of incipient collapse. In one
of the leading theaters of New York the
ladies havn almost universally adopted a
becomingly arranged scarf as the proper
adornment for the head, and the innova-
ton is receiving the cordial approval OF
both sexes. 'ltincreases ra Their than lessons
the feminine charms, it does not abstruct
a view of the stage, and until something
better can be devised it Will answer admir-
ably the purposes for which it was designed.
The example set in New York is being
followed in smaller cities, and the Roches.
ter ladies. we are proud to say, have fallen
into line with commendable alacrity.
1t is great triumph, but the men can
not fatter themselves that the victory is
due alone to their persistent efforts. No
one ever suffered more from the nuisance
than the ladies themselves and thep would
have abolished it long ago could they have
seen the way clear. But they were ham,
pered on every side by the rigors OF a pre-
vailing fashion and by the practical i'm
possibility of anything like a concerted
movement. So long as they chose to re-
tain the bonnet their postian was abso.

thon willing to conform to the dictates OF
good taste and unselishness and now by
their tact and ingenuity they have insti
tuted the desired reform without in the
least imperiling the social fabric.

A Portrait of Henry Clay.
December Century.

December Century.
Mr.. Clay was tall and broad-shoul-
dered without being bulky or fleshy,
and when at all excited was OF stately
and commanding presence. Though
his long limbs were loosely put togeth-
er, yet his manner was neither awk-
ward or uncouth, nor ever embarrass-
ed; on the contrary, it was easy and
natural, and wholly unpretentions; it
was the easy, nonchalant air Of a
man accustomed to the ways of the
world, and conscious that he was at
least the peer of the foremost i'll every
crowd in which he happened to be.
Indeed, my own opinion is that he
was never in the slightest degree, even
in his early youth, awed by the pres
ence of any one; he never seemed to
feel, and my belief is he never felt, that
he was ever at any time in the pres
ence OF any one superior to himself.
And therefore he was not only
strikingly at ease, but at home,
wherever he was, whether among his
neighbors or strangers, whether at
social gathering or at the bar, or as
the Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives. or on the floor of the senate;
and in my Judgment he would have
felt equally at home at a con-
ference with kings and emperors.
He seemed to have not only an in
stinctive consciousness of his own
strength but for his own special ca
pacity for leadership. Therefore he
would take the lead to himself as il
unconsciously, whatever the occasion,
and as naturally and as gracefully as
if it were his birthright; and few there
were, if any, who ever seemed to be
surprised that he had taken the place
for which nature appeared to have
designed him. Indeed, without any
appearance OF self-assertion on his
part, and as if unconsciously to him
self, there was a something in his pres
ence and his manner that gave to him
an authoritative air, and made him for
the time the central, the commanding
figure OF the group about him.

Story OF a Lace Veil.

must tell you something that happened
once in a country town, where dishonesty
in the educated classes is not SO safe as it
is in cities. A girl | knew was one day ran
sacking an old dover chest and found
among other things long laid by, an old.
fashioned white lace veil. 1t was about one
and a quarter yards in length and WAS
quite yard wide. The design was heavy
and rich along the edge and the rest was
''sprigged" with small orange buds. 1t had
been the wedding veil OF some sncestress
The lace was beautifully fine old Brussels
and, OF course. was valuable. The girl was
so delighted to find it, rolled up among a
lot OF old linen, that she impetuOusly drag.
ged it out OF the chest, and, in doing SO,
caught one corner OF it on a wretched nail
that lurked unseen inside the big box. How
ever, she darned it so skilliully that it
hardly showed, and she used to wear this
veil as a fichu and lovely it looked.
One very hot day, at a garden party. she
left it in the bedroom OF her hostess and
coming up to get it in the evening, could
not find it anywhere. 1t had disappeared,
and, though she was very sorry Just at
first. she soon forgot all about it, as girls
will. She married and went to India with
her husband. Her mother left the village
But last year, when my old friend was
home with her husband on a furiough, they
met some old acquaintance who had a
place near their former home, and, being
asked to 90 and stay with them, they ac-
cepted. The very evening of their arrival
there was an amateur concert got up by
the musical people about, and Of course
every one went. Jeanne and her husband
among the rest.
They sat Immediately behind girl whom
Jeanie had known formerly, and whom she
recognized with pleasure, only waiting for
pause in the performance TO attract her
attention. This. however, she did very ef
tectually before any pause came. In a very
piano part Of the solo that was being sung
loud whisper ran quite audibly through
the room. This was Jeanne, who had found
her long-lost lace veil, recognized her own
dainty little stitches, and uttered aloud:
my darn" The girl before her turned
round, as did everyone, and when she saw
Jeanie she grew as white as tire lace itself
You see, she had thought herself quite sale
in wearing it after all that long time, think
ing Jeanie was in India.

The prisoner resumed his seat. In
view of this revelation the case was
held over to be tried at the next ses-
sion. 1t will soon come up. If we
were on the jury what would we do
with this parricide?
